Testimony in the trial of Karen Read, a Mansfield woman charged in the death of her Boston police officer boyfriend, John O’Keefe, continues on Wednesday at 9 a.m.
Read, 44, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of O’Keefe, who was found cold to the touch and unresponsive on Jan. 29, 2022, outside of a home in Canton.
Norfolk County prosecutors charged Read after his death and stated that she struck O’Keefe with her SUV while driving intoxicated. Read’s attorney, David Yannetti, said during the trial’s opening statements that her car never struck O’Keefe and that others are to blame for his death.
The trial is taking place in Dedham’s Norfolk County Superior Court.
Jurors heard from a witness on Tuesday who said she saw a “black blob” on the lawn of 34 Fairview as she left in the early hours of Jan. 29, 2022.
On Monday, Brian Albert, a retired Boston police officer and homeowner of 34 Fairview Road, where O’Keefe was found unresponsive, testified about what happened on the night of Jan. 28, 2022.
This story will be updated throughout Wednesday when the trial resumes at 9 a.m.
